Scorpio - Breaking Free from Old Structures and Forms
Image of the Month of Scorpio In order to embrace something new, we must let go of something else. We cannot hold on to more than is possible. We have to give up certain activities to gain better things. In keeping with the changing times, we will evolve into a global spirit, in which our values, too, are global. If we wish to rise to a spirit, we cannot hold only local values. The Aquarian Age brings in global values, and God will be experienced as energy beyond form and name. Many communities are trying to cling to their local values and impose them upon a global platform. Let us not fall back into the past. Such attempts will be crushed by Shambala. For the composition of the image, I used a photo taken by my brother, Winfried Philips, of the medieval monastery ruins of Beauly Priory…
Libra – Planetary Balance and Adjustments
Image of the Month of Libra Whenever humanity uses its will too much for selfish ends instead of for the universal good, Shambala strives hard to arrest the deteriorating conditions. For this, Shambala works generally through the Hierarchy of the Masters. The Hierarchy subtly introduces the energy of Shambala - Ray 1, the Will to Good - into humanity causing the needed changes at a global level. Whenever a particular nation or group is gaining excessive power, the members of Shambala ensure counter balance and thus balance the energies. Shambala ensures that neither the West nor the East gain supremacy to the detriment of the other. Shambala allows wars to happen in order to regulate and arrest distortions to the human mind. Shambala also sees sicknesses and natural calamities as means…
Virgo - Nature bestows forms to the beings
Image of the Month of Virgo In order to incarnate on Earth and gain experience, we need a body with all the equipment required for human life. It is a highly specialised vehicle, shaped according to Eastern wisdom from the five elements, the senses and the mind. We have a body and a personality and we express ourselves through this form. In reality, we are the soul. We did not create our form ourselves. Out of love for living beings, Mother Nature creates these forms out of the elements. When the purpose of the form has been fulfilled, it is fitting to return it to its source and the elements dissolve back into the earth. Shambala recommends that we consciously prepare for sleep by gratefully offering the mind and body with its elements to the reservoir of nature, and to do likewise at…
Relaunch of the Website ludgerphilips.org
Creating a new website with AI The old website with the images and other artwork which had come through me, ludgerphilips.org, was technically deprecated and in a delicate situation for several years. Around Easter 2026, my younger son started creating a totally new website with AI, migrating all content from the old system. The new website is done technically for great stability and long-term functioning. In order to preserve the paintings, which are considered by friends to be of meditational and spiritual significance, the website has been re-registered under the name of the World Teacher Trust - Global (WTT-Global) organisation (rather than my personal name) to ensure it continues independent of any one individual. It will remain a standalone site, not related to the main World…
Leo - Stimulation of the Will of God
Image of the Month of Leo It is prophesied that our present life-wave of humanity would either perish in fire or overcome it. For those who maintain spiritual goodness, or, like Noah's Ark, they will be saved and overcome the fires. Humanity will be lifted up when the Divine Will prevails over the human will. Sanat Kumara, the Lord of Shambala, intends to strengthen the Will of the Divine within humanity, so that people may transcend the fire rather than perish in it. Sanat Kumara stimulates the Will of God in those who align themselves by subordinating their personal will to the Divine Will: ‘Father, thy will be done, not mine’. Within our spinal column there is a vertical subtle channel, called Sushumna, which enables the flow of the energy of will. It is recommended that we orient…
Cancer - The Immeasurable Work of Shambala
Image of the Month of Cancer Shambala is the planetary centre where the Will of God is received from higher circles and expressed on Earth under the guidance of Sanat Kumara. Shambala receives and transmits the energies of the Seven Rays precipitating down through the Sun and the planets, the twelve signs of the zodiac, and the great energy systems of the Pleiades, the Great Bear and Sirius, as well as a multitude of other sources. Shambala receives the energies, synthesizes them and distributes them on the Earth for the well-being of the earthy. The stupendous work of Shambala and Sanat Kumara is immeasurable and indescribable. Nor can it be adequately depicted. Yet through daily remembrance of Shambala, we strengthen our will to do good, our knowledge and the effectiveness of our…
Gemini - Full Moon Meditations
Image of the Month of Gemini Full Moon meditations are becoming increasingly popular. The moonlight is very beneficial during the Full Moon time and also the two nights preceding the Full Moon and the two nights after the Full Moon. During this period, the Moon shines brightly reflecting the sunlight most intensely. The reflected light enables finer transformations of the mental layers and tissues. It is important to perform Full Moon meditations during these five days. Sanat Kumara, the Lord of the Planet, is also in deep contemplation during the time around the Full Moon in order to spread the radiance of the moonlight for the benefit of the Earth and the living beings on our planet. The image depicts how, during this time, the Full Moon energies pour in and are distributed across the…
Taurus - Contemplation on Receiving and Implementing the Plan
Image of the Month of Taurus The sun sign Taurus initiates the expression of the annual plan, which was received in Aries as a seed impulse in Shambala. At the time of the Taurus full moon, when the Moon is in the constellation Vaisakha, the Word expresses itself as a fresh impulse for life on Earth. Therefore, this full moon is called the Vaisakha Festival. The seed word is perceived and received by the Seers and Masters in order to initiate the disciples in the following month of Gemini. The Hierarchy initiates those persons who work with the inspiration of the Divine. The manner in which divine actions are carried out in the world is represented by various symbols. Shambala stands for the divine that has manifested itself on our planet. This is represented by a circle with a centre…
Aries - The Three Primary Full Moons and the Plan
Image of the Month of Aries Aries is the month of the descent of new energies. During the hours of the Aries full moon, the Will of God is received in Shambala. The plan for the year descends to Earth in seed form from higher circles. This fresh impulse is formulated into a working plan for the year during the following 30 days. The plan is handed over to the Hierarchy during the hours of the Taurus full moon. The members of the Hierarchy internalise the plan and begin to implement it. At the Gemini full moon, the disciples who are tuned to the Masters receive the seed thought, which is worked out on the planet during the remaining nine months of the year. These three full moons are of utmost importance for the reception and implementation of the plan. To visualise this descent and…
Pisces - Receiving and Transmitting Cosmic Energies
Image of the Month of Pisces The great seers of the past in deep contemplation attuned to the planet Earth, the solar system and even groups of solar systems. They could see that the Earth receives energies from cosmic sources via the Sun. The seven stars of the Great Bear and the seven stars that form the Pleiades, together with Sirius, have a special influence. They recognised Sirius as the Teacher (Love/Wisdom) who cares for the development of our solar system, while the Great Bear and the Pleiades play the roles of Father (Divine Will) and Mother (Divine Intelligence). The Sun receives a triple energy from these three cosmic sources and transmits it to Earth via Shambala through the Seven Rays, thus seven sounds and seven colours. The image is a visualisation of how the three energies…
Aquarius - Vasundhara. The Planet in its Seven Layers
Image of the Month of Aquarius Our planet Earth, in Eastern Scriptures and in Sanskrit, is called Vasundhara, the goddess of the Earth. Vasundhara is not just the physical globe, but the planet in its seven layers. The plane solidified into the physical globe is but a tiny planet, constituting a 64th part of the entire system of seven Dweepas (islands or layers). The main centre of this planet is Shambala. It is called the White Island (Swetha Dweepa) or the imperishable holy land Pushkara. This is also how we refer to the seventh sphere around the physical Earth. Our body also consists of seven layers. Our head centre – the crown chakra or Sahasrara – is like Pushkara, the imperishable White Island. This reality is only perceived by those who have divine vision. These connections were…
